Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 23 March 2026.
Helen Morgan
Liberal Democrat Spokesperson (Health and Social Care)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the potential cost to (a) GP practices (b) integrated care boards and (c) NHS trusts of participating in the National Neighbourhood Health Implementation Programme.
Stephen Kinnock
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
Participation in the programme is voluntary, and sites are sponsored locally by their integrated care board and local authority chief executive officers to help accelerate progress in delivering neighbourhood health. Sites have received nationally funded support, including coaching, analytical and evaluation input, and access to national convening and communities of practice. The costs of delivering neighbourhood health will vary between places, and as sites have only been participating for a short period, a clearer picture of local delivery costs will emerge over time with further analytical support.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
